PRETTY ORNAMENTS.
How Pictures from Illustrated Papers Can
Be Transferred to Wood.

How Pictures from Illustrated Papers Can
I3e Transferred to Wood.
A great many of the panel pictures
which serve as interior decorations for
cars and steamboat saloons, and which
have so frequently been admired for
their artistic beauty, are first trans
ferred to the wood from ordinary illus
trations in the pictorial papers, and
painted by the artist afterward.
The process is simple, and can be
done by most any boy or girl Of ordinary
intelligence. Poplar wood is regarded
as the best for the foundation, as its
surface is even after being planed, and
it is not so porous as pine, and is there
fore less liable to absorb the ink-marks
upon it.
Select any picture that the fancy may
suit from some illustrated paper, say.
for instance, q landscape or marine
scene. Cut it out of the paper, clip off
the superfuous portions around the
edges. and lay it upon the board, leav-
ing about an inch margin all around on
the board. When the picture is trans
ferred this margin may be gilded or
stained, which gives the picture the ap-
pearance of being inclosed in frame.
The board must be thoroughly dry and
smooth, and free from knots. The sur
face should then be gone over with a
thin coating of copal varnish (Which
can be purchased at almost any paint
store), evenly laid on.
The picture to be transferred, first
having care to see that no creas es
or wrinkles are in it, should be placed
upon the board upside down-that is,
with the face of the picture to the
board. Having accomplished this
much, the board and picture should
then be put away to dry, and
securely covered with some light stuff.
to prevent the dust from settling upon
it. The drying should not be forced by
artificial means, such as placing near
the stove, as it is liable to blister and
destroy the effect of the picture. Let it
remain in this condition until it is
thoroughly dry; then, with a fine sponge
slightly dampened with water, go slowly
over the back of the paper. The paper
will come off easily, leaving the picture
upon the surface of the wood. With a
box of paints, a boy or girl may thus
have handsome picture that will last
for years.
The picture. however, in the original
transfer to the wood, without any addi'
ton of paint to enhance its beauty,
makes very pretty ornament. Shields
medallions, eascls and ovals can be
shaped out of the wood for small pic
lures, which furnish attractive orna
ments for tables and mantle-pieces.-

SLAIN IN HIS MorHrR,s LAP.
Another Atrocious Chapter in the Bald
Knobber Deviltry.

Knobber Dcviitry.
OZARK, NO., April 2i.-The Bald Knob
bers' situation is becoming more serious
each day, and the prisoners are showing
considerable uneasiness. Yesterday
Charley Graves, a prominent member OF
the midnight raiders, entered the confess
SIGNAL, and after a long story OF the raids
he had attended, giving the names of the
men who mad accompanied him, he fixed
the murder Of Geo. Edens on John Mat
thews. On the first assault on Eden's house
George was shot down but not killed. At
ter ransackins the house the masked men
retired, and Georges mother was holding
Georges head while he lay on the floor. A
man appeared at the door and took delib-
crate aim at the wounded man and put a
bullet through his head, killing him.
Graves says he met John Matthews COM
ing from the house, and heard him say that
he was mad because he had been wounded
in the back of the head and had returned
to the house just as the party were leav-
ing and finished the work begtn on Geo.
Edcns. Parsons, Simons and VIII Newton

selves, but the prosecution refuse to ac-
cept them as they say they now hayo
enough testimony.

DIVIDING THE PROFITS.
A Chicago Firm Gives It's Employees Ovel
Thirteen Thousand Dollars.

DOhaTbs
CHICAGO, April GA year ago the firm
of Norton Bros, of this city, decided to
adopt the protit-sharing system with its
employees. The firm promised to divide a
certain portion Of it's profits for the year
among the employees who had worked for
the firm for at least six months during the
year, and who had not left their work
without the consent Of the firm, or who
had not been discharged for cause. The
firm guaranteed the sum to be divided to
be no less than $4,000, and expected the
men to refrain from striking or in any way
interfering with their business. The men
readily consented to this arrangement,
and yesterday the firm divided $13,275
among the $50 employees, each employe re-
ceiving a sum in proportion to the amount
earned during the year. Each employe
received nearly ~ per cent on his earn
ings. The earnings Of the men ran from
$500 to 81, 500 in the year, and each there
fore received from s3S 80 to ST. 10. The
system resulted in general satisfaction all
around.

President Diaz DeIiqhted.

CRY OF MEXICO, April 22.-The Constitu-
tional Amendment passed the House Of
Deputies last night by an overwhelming
majority. The proposition allows one re-
election Of President, that is, two success
sive terms. The amendment now goes to
the Senate, where it will probably be
passed without debate. Ratification by
the State Legislatures is said to be as.
sured. By Americans here this action is
interpreted as meaning the reelection Of
Diaz and consequent advancement Of Mex
ican railroad stocks and Government Sc
curities.

A SUDDEN FLOOD.
The City of Montreal Changed Into
q Lake.
An Icc-Jam Causes the River to Rise Four
Feet In rs Many Minutes-Great Damage
and Suffering.


MONTREAL, CAN, April 22.-Montreal and
the Valley Of the st. Lawrence In the i'm
mediate vicinity is again inundated. An
ice gorge, caused by an immense field Of
lake ice, which, crashing into the basin
above Victoria Bridge, caused movement
in front of the city, soon became jammed
at the head Of 1T. Helen's Island, causing
the water to rise four feet in as many
minutes, flooding Point st. Charles, Grif-
fintown, Commissioner, St. Paul, McGill
and all other lowly-lying localities. The
Grand Trunk shops and yards are also un-
der water. The Albion Hotel and the
Western House have two feet of water in
their dining-rooms. st. AIMS Market has
four feet OF water and Chaboillez Square
has the appearance of an inland lake. The
Nuns Island Is under water and three hum
dred head of cattle reported drowned. The
nuns themselves had to flee for their lives
in their night-dresses. In the poorer
quarters of the city the suffering is great,
as the poor people have no means OF
obtaining provisions. Relief committees
are now being formed. On the south side
of the river La Prairie, st. Lambert and
Longueville are under water. At the lat
ter place those living on the river bank
were awakened by the ice crashing into
the houses, carrying away the roofs and
walls Some Of the people had miraculous
escapes. The fine residence Of Richard
Swardon, which cost thousands to
build, is complete wreck. At St.
Hlliare two store-houses have been
demolished. From the back river the
same disastrous intelligence is received,
barns and bridges having been carried
away, and an immense loss of live stock
sustained. The loss to the business COM
munity here is heavy, but not as
high as last year, as many were prepared
for the emergency. The blasting expert
ments have proved complete failure and
have had no effect on the ice.
